    Of course. But if we wanted to form an opinion we had to listen to it. I did. I'm glad I did so that I can say I heard this piece of "art" and don't need to again.

    99 Problems would have been a great choice if WMA was still attached to it!!
    What happened?

    I feel like these songs were strangely missing our band!

    Thanks but no thanks. This is not even Pearl Jam. A wasted effort. If you havent listened to it; i dont expect you to understand. I dont like to post negative comments, but feel someone should rethink what goes into these "xmas" singles. Deep Magazine was one of the best yet however! Jmtc
    IT'S EVOLUTION BABY!!!!!

    Well I didn't think I'd listen to it a second time, but it works better as a video. At least I get to look at Eddie. Still don't think it's appropriate for the PJ Xmas single.

    I've been too busy this week to read/post much here so it was a complete surprise to me when I got it in the mail today. I love everything about this year's single. Now that I've come here and seen how many people hate it, I love it even more.

    Had never heard 99 Problems and now that I have I won't be listening to it again. I like a few Jay-Z songs but this one sucks. The joke of a B-side is actually better.

    Got it today in MA.

    Well...I mean I would have been fine with either of these non Pearl Jam novelties as the B side and an actual PJ song (live, cover, new tune doesn't matter) as the A side, but this just seems like somebody's idea of a bad joke to have these 2 songs together. I mean honestly Shattered is a comedy skit not a song and its not particularly funny.

    I SO wish they had the entire Daughter/99 problems(tag) - would have made it so much more enjoyable to listen to!

    I was there, as many of us were, and it was just insane, although I have had no prior, or future listening to Jay-Z since that night, until this vinyl came today!

    Don't know what you guys are talking about. Mine is a studio version of "Of The Earth" on side A and "Mother" from Wrigley on side B :o;)

    Love 'Shattered'!! It's fun, and I actually really enjoy this Stones' song. Yeah kind of jokey, but it's a fun one. Plus that Jeanne (as Julie) really nails it.

    Honestly it took me two listens to catch the "Raindrops... on roses!" references haha. I'm loving this!

    Have not received it yet in Toronto. Anyone in Ontario get theirs yet? This is the kind of thing that makes me question my decision to continue with the "analog" membership. I got 99 Problems with this single. Maybe the visuals/artwork will be better than the audio. :P For the full membership renewal, did anyone get a tshirt or even stickers or patches? They used to do that and it was part of being an "analog" member. Hmmm...
